ABSTRACT

This paper looks into the likely effects of Brexit on scientific research in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. Although mention is made of the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, these will only become clear with time. After a reminder about what science actually is, I describe a framework for the debate on Brexit and research. I sketch an outline of the best possible outcome of this process and comment on the situation as it appeared in 2020, in the midst of the Transition Period and while intensive negotiations on the future relationship between the UK and the EU continued.

英国脱欧和科学研究？

摘要

本文探讨了英国退欧对英国和欧洲其他地方的科学研究可能产生的影响。尽管提到了冠状病毒大流行的影响，但随着时间的推移，这些影响将变得越来越明显。在提醒人们科学实际上是什么之后，我描述了有关英国退欧和研究辩论的框架。我概述了这一过程可能取得的最佳结果，并就2020年过渡时期中出现的局势发表了评论，同时继续就英国与欧盟之间的未来关系进行深入的谈判。
